Here's my theory...the gas pedal got stuck, the mullet went in his face, his holey jeans caught the shifter, the left strap of the wife beater got caught in the seat belt...damn so many things that could go wrong. Seriously though, I think something went wrong other then him just trying to do 100 mph, the traffic was horrible and he did make it a point to go OFF road...so yeah?

Not sure any current vehicles could handle that launch and airborne collision with a bridge any better

Well the video was taken from the cop car that he probably saw at the last second. Seems he lost control when he realized he was coming up on the Popo at 100+, swerved and, well the rest is history.

I didn't see any brake lights on the video, until possibly when the car got airborne (hard to see with all the dust). Therefore, I suspect distracted driving. Penalty: Lecture from Oprah.
